Your Mid-Week Workout with Michelle Obama

Last night on Instagram, First Lady Michelle Obama answered the challenge that the President posed to her last week: “Give me five, FLOTUS style.” As part of her #GimmeFive campaign, which asks people to share five ways they maintain a healthy lifestyle, she spotlighted a few of her favorite fitness moves. While her husband prefers walking and spinning as a way of incorporating regular workouts into his daily schedule, Mrs. Obama heads to the gym for an intense lineup of cardio-fueled jump rope before toning those famous arms with boxing combinations on a heavy bag and weight-lifting on a bench. Meanwhile, jump squats strengthen her legs and a medicine-ball circuit works her core for full-body conditioning. With a few days left before the first inaugural beach weekend of the season, here’s to getting FLOTUS-level fit.
